After an impressive career to date featuring on global imprints like Suara, Stereo Productions and Toolroom Records, Spaniard Marc Dosem takes the leap into the label world. This month the Girona producer launches his very own Houstrike label and he has marked the launch with a standout two tracker. We’re very excited today to present a full premiere from the release in the form of ‘Hidden Elevator’. The track sees Dosem take a left turn away from signature club sounds. He’s constructed a dominating electronic beast, which brings together tightly knit groove, intricate melodic touches and an ensemble of harrowing fx.
Speaking with DHA, Dosem explained the concept, stating “One of the main reasons is that I’m a big fan of Cyberpunk. There are some classic Manga and Animes inspired by this genre that had a big impact on me long time ago. Also many japanese videogames. All that inspiration is going to have much weight in the aesthetics of the label. I also love to visit Japan. I had the chance to play there quite a few times … It’s an amazing country with a beautiful culture and I made very good friends there. But there are many other elements that will be part of the whole visual layout. I like to visit big cities like Hong Kong, New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam … I like to walk through the streets, listening to music and be inspired by the echo of all kinds of untold stories (real or fictional) lost in all those massive urban scenarios. I think these big cities around the world represent very well where we are as a global society … the past, the present and the near future in our planet.”
The release date is Tuesday, 22nd March, exclusive on Beatport.
